If you're an enemy in line to get a vote STAY IN LINE. If you're in line during the ceasefire they have to let you vote.

My full statement on Trump’s unconstitutional military operations in Venezuela:
Trump promised peace, but has delivered war. For months, the Trump administration has escalated conflict in Venezuela with unconstitutional and illegal strikes, and lied to the American people. Now, Trump has committed the United States to running another country for the foreseeable future while Americans foot the bill for regime change. 
Today, Trump finally said the quiet part out loud. The justification for this war isn’t about stemming the flow of drugs. This is about regime change. This is about enriching oil corporations and billionaires. Congress must immediately assert its constitutional authority over American military action—the same authority Trump’s own chief of staff said he needs.
This is the worst kind of betrayal from Trump. He committed the United States to an uncertain role in South America with an indeterminate timeline. As Trump’s influence over the country and the world wanes, he is ready and willing to endanger Americans and abandon the Constitution as a last-ditch effort to hold on to power and relevancy.

Thanks everyone looping me in on the Sean Duffy thing. Short response to various questions 1) Nuclear power for the Moon is not new. Look up e.g. Kilopower. 2) None of this clearly would violate international law. 3) It can be done very safely, and I suspect NASA would do it safely.

Everything's on the table. Republicans are using every method they can, whether it's cheating or breaking the law. We've got to do everything we can to stand up and fight back — we're not sitting around and complaining from the sidelines when we have the ability to stop them.

I wonder how Trump will take it if the base refuses to budge on this. Rolling over and pushing Bondi under the bus is a real possibility, but I can imagine a world where he starts lashing out and spiraling. He's been their golden boy for a decade, this has gotta feel weird and bad for him
